Ariza attended Westchester High School in Los Angeles, where as a junior he combined with teammate and fellow future NBA player Hassan Adams,Brandon Heath, Bobby Brown and Gabriel Pruitt to lead the Comets to the California State championship.

After one season at UCLA, Ariza was a second round draft choice (43rd overall) of the New York Knicks in the 2004 NBA Draft.

[edit] NBA career

Ariza was drafted by the Knicks at age 19, after spending just one year at UCLA. Ariza started his career coming off the bench as the second youngest rookie in Knicks history.[1]Ariza then earned himself starting honors with the Knicks under Larry Brown, as the team attempted to implement a youth movement, until 2005 draft pick David Lee replaced him. On February 22, 2006, he was traded to the Orlando Magic along with Anfernee "Penny" Hardaway in exchange for Steve Francis.

On November 20, 2007, Ariza was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for Brian Cook and Maurice Evans.[2]He fractured a bone in his right foot in January 2008, but made his return in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals against the San Antonio Spurs in late May, scoring a basket within his first minute of play. Ariza is well known for his hustle to save almost impossible plays and his athletic dunks. He has the nickname "Cobra", in reference to a comment by Phil Jackson about his quickness and ability to strike on defense. [3]
